Mark A. Richards,Walter Alvarez,Stephen Self,Leif Karlstrom,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Michael Manga,Courtney J. Sprain,Courtney J. Sprain,Jan Smit,Loÿc Vanderkluysen,Sally A. Gibson +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Chicxulub/Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction and impact were observed to have occurred within less than about a hundred thousand years of each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
40Ar/39Ar Dating into the Historical Realm: Calibration Against Pliny the Younger
TL;DR: In this paper, laser incremental heating of sanidine from the pumice deposited by the Plinian eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. yielded a 40Ar/39Ar isochron age of 1925 ± 94 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large mafic eruptions at Alban Hills Volcanic District (Central Italy): Chronostratigraphy, petrography and eruptive behavior
Fabrizio Marra,Fabrizio Marra,Daniel B. Karner,Daniel B. Karner,Carmela Freda,Carmela Freda,M Gaeta,M Gaeta,M Gaeta,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive stratigraphic and geochronologic study of the Tuscolano-Artemisio phase of activity, along with new textural and petrographic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct brief major events in the Karoo large igneous province clarified by new 40Ar/39Ar ages on the Lesotho basalts
Fred Jourdan,Fred Jourdan,Gilbert Féraud,Hervé Bertrand,Michael K. Watkeys,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne +6 more
TL;DR: Jourdan et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed plagioclase separates from five lava flows encompassing the complete 1.4-km-thick Lesotho sequence from top to bottom using the 40 Ar/39 Ar method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleomagnetism, geochemistry and dating of the North-eastern Paraná Magmatic Province: tectonic implications
Marcia Ernesto,Maria Irene Bartolomeu Raposo,Leila Soares Marques,Paul R. Renne,L.A Diogo,A. De Min +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 40 Ar / 39 Ar dating of three distinct sills in the Northeastern Parana Magmatic Province (PMP) to calculate a paleomagnetic pole at 71.4° E and 83.0° S.
